Product Description
by Ben Casper (Author)
Now a 5-epidsode podcast and soon-to-follow full feature film. Propane dealer, inventor, race-car driver, farmer, paintball-field operator, prankster, extensive explorer of both the North and South Poles (that's why he takes bipolar medication) and 20-year Les Schwab tire store owner-operator are just a few of the hats Ben Casper has worn. Unfortunately, none of the hats was a football helmet or hard-hat so there's been a little brain damage along the way. This nonfiction manuscript is an entertaining and humorous look at the life of a constantly-struggling, accident-prone entrepreneur who barely beats the odds, time after time. Near-death experiences (31 broken bones thus far) are an expected and regular occurrence. Close calls with bankers, lawmen, common sense and the Grim Reaper permeate this side-splitting, fun-to-read account. The eldest of nine kids, Ben was raised in an LDS (Mormon) pioneer farm family in the Columbia Basin in Washington State. Expect no shortage of hilarious, wild and wacky first-hand experiences. Redeeming life-lessons and miraculous examples of marriage longevity are abundant in this "can-it-really-be-true?" and riveting 523 page account.
